I have been privileged to work at the Lawrence Livermore National Labs as a summer intern for the second consecutive year. My project involves revamping old and outdated nuclear spectrometry systems at our Nuclear Counting Facility. As an electrical engineering student with an interest in control systems, I have really enjoyed programming and testing software, examining old schematics and creating new diagrams, designing the hardware layout, and interfacing the sensors and actuators with an embedded processor.

I chose to return as a summer scholar because I wanted to continue working in Cyber Security and Infrastructure where I am studying and developing algorithms for collaborative autonomy and decentralized iterative methods. I have found the environment of LLNL to be a compelling avenue for collaborative research motivated by real world applications, which in my case are issues related to modernizing the electrical grid.

I have interned at the lab for the past two summers, so this will be my third summer here! Ever since my first summer here, I have felt very supported. My first summer, I interned in DTED and worked on the proof-of-concept of an experiment that would eventually fly on a sounding rocket the next year. The next summer, I supported a project in MED where we used microspheres to detect different gaseous environments. This summer, I am interning in CED and working on NIF diagnostics.
